12 Miles
Embracing the Wind: A Journey of Love and Liberation in Scout Niblett's '12 Miles'
Lyrics
It was fun being a baby
Reflects on the carefree and enjoyable experience of being a baby.
They could never catch me
Suggests a sense of freedom and agility as a baby, evading capture.
I was with the wind outside, oh where it took me
Expresses the freedom to wander outdoors carried by the wind.
And the wind came, you were in it pulling at my sleeve
Describes the presence of someone in the wind, exerting a pull or influence.
I could feel it
Personal sensation or perception of the pull in the wind.
I walked 12 miles
Walked a significant distance, symbolizing a journey.
With each and every step I felt you try to lift me
Perceived attempts to be lifted or influenced with each step taken.
Right out of my shoes from where you were
Feeling the influence trying to detach or separate from a familiar place.
And the skies they opened and they whispered to me
Reference to a moment of revelation or communication from the skies.
"you're just here to love it baby
A message suggesting the purpose of existence: to love and participate.
You're just here to join in baby,"
Encouragement to engage and be a part of experiences.
Your body needs you
Emphasizes the necessity of the self for the body's functioning.
Your limbs they need you
Highlights the dependence of limbs on the self for movement.
Your fingers need you
Touches upon the personal necessity for actions and dexterity.
Your beauty needs you
Underlines the importance of self-care and self-love for beauty.
I have this body, it means you can touch me
Suggests the physical presence as an avenue for interaction and connection.
And I will feel it
The assurance of sensing physical contact and responsiveness.
